Why’d I leave the post in .general & .admin?

Honestly, because a general-community outline is needed for these type of
situations. We’re the ones that’ll likely encounter these incidents first,
so we should have some measures in place. Because they’ll invariably
reappear eventually in some form or another. And we should have some form of
protocol to deal with it.
I did my best with to help with the limited knowledge and resources that I had.
(I just rang the alert bell, but now I know what to do in the future!)
Perhaps someday our community will have these procedures in place.
And perhaps then I'll enjoy the experience here as I once did…

                    Sincerely,

                                 --==RiçhärÐ==--

        Why...

Yes, why indeed...

I would posit that you would have served the entire community a lot better
by dropping a note to Kevin about this pic instead of posting a link to it
to ***.GENERAL***, for goodness sake, with nary a word of warning that it's
inappropriate.

C'mon Richard, show a little common sense, will you?

I did what I could to make a bad situation better.
I didn't know what else to do but knew that resolution was needed.
I just wanted to find help, and didn't know how else to do it.

Seemed like the best "common sense" at that time...

         <To "all" except LFB>
But what's the sense in re-posting the link?
What's the sense in leaving the conversation in general.
What's the sense in creating a provocative title to draw attention?
(I posted there for "general" help... why did y'all post
here and not in off-topic?)
What's the sense in discussing the issue here,
I don't spam-block my e-mail, anyone can reach me!
(For people speak about "what's best for the community,"
well privately e-mailing me to discuss options would have
been far more productive)

I'll just be going away now, sorry to have bothered y'all with this!

                                       it'll be awhile,
